MQM suspends senior member for misbehaving with journalists

Karachi- Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) suspended the membership of a senior party member today for mistreating a delegation of Pakistan Federal Union of Journalist (PFUJ) during Sunday’s rally. In an emergency meeting held at Jinnah Park immediately after the public rally, MQM’s Rabita Committee unanimously decided to suspend Qamar Mansoor, one of the senior most members, for showing an irresponsible behavior with the PFUJ’s delegation. MQM head Altaf Hussain, while endorsing the committee’s decision, regretted the unfortunate incident. He later spoke to PFUJ President, General Secretary and other members over the phone and apologized for Mansoor’s conduct.
